Kori’s Roti Stop

Had the chicken roti today, wasn’t impressed. Way too much potato, and they were out of rice. Medium spice was really spicy.
Might have to make another trip, possibly for lunch, and try the goat roti. Never getting chicken again.

The best caribbean Roti! The make their Roti dough every morning and if you want the Roti without the dal/​lentil filling then just call them around 9 am and they will customized it for you. This place is owned by a sweet couple who are open to customization (add more /​less/​no potatoes). I love their chicken and goat Roti.

Been a regular at Kori’s for years. The quality has been hit or miss. Great flavour but the «peppa» scale isn’t consistent. In comparison to other roti locations in the area, often full of potato filler over your meat of choice. A bit pricy but had been the only good roti spot in the area for years. Moved to a new location which is much better. Worth checking out.

Friends recommended this place for Goat Roti, they were right it was excellent. A bit more meat would have made it 5 star. Flavour was excellent. It’s definitely a hole in the wall with great food.

Only the best roti around! This is true Trinidadian roti. Don’t get it confused with any other type of roti. Kori’s the the closest thing to authentic roti I have had outside of Trinidad.
The last time I was in Trinidad and I told someone I was from Toronto. They told me I HAD to try Kori’s because it was the best they have ever had while on vacation. There you have it, right from the mouth of a born and raised Trinidadian!
The goat roti is to die for! It’s tender and there’s always lots of sauce. You have to come on Saturdays to try their doubles. Promise you’ll love them. They’re cheap and delicious. Authentic Trinidadian street food.
You can choose your spice level all the way from mild to suicide. Medium is no joke so I can’t even imagine what suicide is like.
The staff! Terri is the best! She’s so friendly and is always up for chatting even when it’s busy. She makes the place what it is.
Ok lets just talk for a minute how to eat roti while I have my platform. It’s not a wrap! You don’t use a knife and fork! You open it up, rip off some of the shell and use it to scoop up all the amazingness. That’s how it’s done!
Seating is limited and it’s always packed. They have lineups at lunch time that stretch all the way out the door your best bet is to call ahead and place your order. While they are fast at preparing orders, if there’s quite a few in front of you, you’ll be waiting awhile.
Honestly I can’t say enough good things about this place. Best food, best staff who also happen to be the owners. I highly recommend stopping in.

Great place to eat! Food is full of flavor and the staff are kind. Around lunch time, it gets busy, if you call it in they will have it waiting for you… If you walk in its also not to long of a wait.

You need to know where it is, but it’s totally worth it when you find it. Really love the roti. Make sure to call-​in your order ahead at lunchtime to avoid the wait!

Not bad, but not great either.
I ordered the chicken roti. It had too much potatoes as filler, and didn’t have much taste. I could have asked for more hot sauce, but it’s very bland otherwise.
No vegetables inside… Except for if you ask specifically for the vegetable roti.

As mentioned, a true hole in the wall — straight from the islands, and just as authentic as any of the top shops I’ve eaten in along my travels. Try the goat or beef. Authentic flavors, and medium can sometimes be hot as hell! The fried dough balls with tamarind are a nice add on. This place is one of my fav’s — no disappointment. I have friends that well drive an hour for her Roti

Roti was decent. Had the goat. A bit chewy and they could have added a few more pieces of meat but the taste was very nice.
Word of warning: I waited a solid half an hour for my Roti to be made after lining up to order it due to neighbouring businesses and offices calling in orders of a dozen or more. Not recommended if you are in a rush or have a short lunch break.
Staff is fantastic and they have a really good energy about them which is nice.

Hey all,
A real hole in the wall, blink and you miss it venue. If we are ever in oakville this is a necessary stop.

OMG! You just have to try it! You’ll be amazed :-) And you’ll come back for more!

UHNNNNNNNNMAZING.
It’s been about a year since I’ve been here though.
WHAT’S UP:
Massive wrap of chewy, flaky roti;
Stuffed until it’s massive with very flavourful curry.
Peppa scale makes it easy to consistantly get the right amount of spice, and the scale goes HIGH. I can’t even imagine consuming the hottest option.
MY CHOICE:
I go for chicken roti, Peppa factor of «Medium + 1 touch», which BURNS BABY BURNS – like really though – like mouth-​searing, eye-​watering, hurts-​so-​good-​i-​got-​a-​soregasm BURN.
COMPARE:
I think this place has much tastier chicken rotis than Rannee’s, Oakville’s other roti option over on Kerr. I haven’t had a chance to check out a lot of Toronto’s options, but I can tell you it’s better than any roti I’ve had in the financial district.

I had a Veggie roti… sooo disappointed, it was dry and it had chow mein veggies that were hard. So not what I was expecting. Not authenic. I have been here before a couple yrs ago and the roti was soo juicy and tasty! What happened?!

Do one thing really well is the name of the game here. Goat and chicken roti are superb. Shrimp and veggie also very good. My least favorite is beef. I find the meat dry and chewy. If you are taking home your order grab a gravy to pour over top. Great staff and service.

Once again, I found myself driving around Oakville with the hunger of a thousand wolves. Out of the corner of my eye, I espied the word «roti» and nearly rolled our car to get to it.
Nestled in a plaza off of Speers road just West of 4^th Line, Kori’s Roti is crazy small. It’s bright yellow walls barely box in the aroma of the freshly jerked meats, which we could smell from the parking lot in the back. The resto has two small tables with a pair of chairs, each just kind of thrown in there. Add that to J.T.‘s «Sexyback» on their radio, we decided to get our rotis to go.
Kori’s also has patties, doubles, aloo pie, and rice dishes at pretty reasonable prices. Wash it down with Boylans or nectar. Some things need 24 hours notice (roti shells, parathas) or are only available on Saturday — you might want to call ahead.
So, their «peppa» scale ranges eight options from mild (no pepper) to suicide. I ordered my chicken roti ‘medium’ which is fourth on the scale. My first few bites were great, but it wasn’t until a quarter of the way through that I started to feel the heat. This is good! I like a heat that builds and that still allows flavour through. My roti was a lot to finish though, so it could have been worth it to get a ‘mini’ one for $ 2 less. I’ll definitely give ‘hot’ a try next time I go back. And go back I definitely shall.
Obligatory Title Pun: Caribbean to the KORE.
Menu Readability: Definitely a typeface I hate but clearly laid out — probably in MS Word.
Need to mention: All prices INCLUDE HST!
What this place teaches me about myself: I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave.

I went and got a Kori roti today because of all the great reviews here. I’ve been to many roti shops in Toronto and I’m determined to try every roti in the west GTA and I have to say that I’m not that impressed with Kori’s. Another reviewer mentioned that the roti skins are fresh and good and that’s true, but overall the roti was pretty dry. Maybe some people enjoy a dry roti but I prefer a nice juicy one. Maybe you have to order it extra saucy or get gravy on the side but really you shouldn’t have to. If you’re in the west end and want a delicious juicy amazing roti, go to D Hot Shoppe in Burlington.

They had doubles this weekend. DOUBLES, bitch!
After wiping the drool, I ordered 3.

GENERAL NOTES
A well hidden gem! Good roti in Oakville, yes!
MENU RECOMMENDATIONS
Pick your poison. I like the chicken roti, but I’m not really a goat guy (more of a boob man). I’ll also normally get a side of rice and gravy.
SERVICE NOTES
Reasonably swift service for what it is. Expect to wait 5 – 10 minutes after your order is placed. It can get reasonably busy here as the secret is sort of out, at least locally.
LOCATION NOTES
Trapped in a tiny office plaza on the south side of Speers, just west of 4^th line. Easy to miss so pay attention. Limited parking (it’s a bitch to get out).
